i thought this painting was so pretty; especially for $5. looks great on my flea market easel as well!-----------------------------------------------------------

great color for this vintage sewing basket - i think i'll use it to transport jewelry to my next show (The Creative Connection)-----------------------------------------------------------

and lastly, isn't she a doll? i always run into her at the flea market. her name is Debra and she is a hairdresser. she always dresses fun. She is very friendly and bubbly and always willing to flash her smile.

I love the painting! And the little coin purse brings back memories of visiting my O'ma and O'pa in Colorado ... we had to drive by Garden of the Gods on our way to their home in the mountains!! It's a beautiful park.

I don't have a posting for today {I just finished organizing rosette swap ~ whew!} But, I'll be around next week.

I wanted to link to you today but I'm away and my photos are at home! :( So next week, then....I collect vintage Christmas ornaments, love yours....did you know the rosary has holy water from Lourdes, France in it? I have one that my father brought me back from France ~ how special!

artist statement

Creating is my key to another time. It unlocks the gate to my secret garden; my refuge. It takes me to another era where things were simpler and I find the process soothing to my soul. Lemoncholy’s Studio began with my fondness for vintage items. Searching flea markets, I find items long forgotten, sometimes damaged, but still purposeful. They just need some love and attention. I want these found objects to tell a new story, have meaning and to be inspiring. I have a vision for them to begin again. Intuitively I combine elements in an enchanting way to provoke a narrative response that alludes to something we seek without knowing it. Often, it is a reminder of our childhood. My jewelry is about craftsmanship and virtue but not perfection. By removing perfectionism, I free my imagination to play and ultimately, this freedom results in whimsical pieces of grace and beauty. I am a grown up Navy brat and moved every 2 years of life. This education in life has well prepared for the journey i have chosen for myself. I am the mother of 2 boys, Tucker and Dillon. We live here at the jersey shore in our own little bohemian corner of the world.
